Service Light

[ianbullsey]

Does anybody know how to get the service warning triangle light off? Mine isn't due a service until next year, the light came on July 1st!

Dealer only I believe. If they've ballsed up I'm sure they will apologise and sort it.

Re: New bike dilemma

It will need resetting using a disgnostic unit. If the bike does not require a service then a friendly local dealer should do it for you. Alternatively you can do it yourself with a Gs911 handheld.

How on earth do you know that?

That's a GS911 Ian
It allows you to plug into your bike and set lights check fault codes change Kph to Mph etc.

Great tool if you don't like taking stuff to the dealers all the time. Your service light will be set for 6000 miles or one calendar year.

Mine came on in may, when the bike was a year old. Even though it was September it was in for its 600 mile service

I think I'll employ some temporary black tape

Isn't tape easier?

If the bike has been serviced by a BMW dealer they will normally just clear the Service Light for you free of charge. It only takes a couple of minutes for them to plug the bike in and change the service interval.

Something similar happened to me. I tried resetting my brain to ignore the light, but neural reset didn't work.

Ended up buying GS-911 to do a hard reset of the service light.

 

[ianbullsey]

Well I will ask, pray and then cover it with tape

Thinking of buying this , can you reset the service intervals and turn off the warnings , as I don't want to pay Bmw silly prices and is it easy to do.

Yes, it does a lot more than switch off lights. I struggle to use modern tech, computers and the like and even I can do it, haha.

A local (to me) independent mechanic charges about ?35 to turn off the service warning.

Think my GS-911 only cost ?200, ?35 is a good way towards it.

Exactly, also, my service costs are very cheap with the service light removed anyway.

Just been quoted 225 for an annual service, that just oil and filter (not even an air filter ). Seems a tad steep to get the light knocked off and a stamp ffs
